First off, I'll say I have a big family

I have 3 sisters and 1 brother. My brother is the oldest and moved out for college when I was a kid, so I was mostly raised with my 3 sisters. My father was almost always away at work for long periods of time, and it wasn't uncommon for me to see him only once a week and just for a few hours.

This was further compounded by a few strange coincidences in my life. Firstly, that I live in a small town, where there are two primary and two middle schools. For each of them, one is a public school, and the other is a private boys-only sports/youth organization academy type thing.

This meant that due to the youth academy taking roughly half the boys, that the small primary and middle school was like, 75% girls. It was a running joke... and the class graduation photos are all mostly girls.

I was a very timid young boy, and afraid of sports. So I went to the public schools. I never made many friends. My only friend was a girl of my age in primary school, who was kind of tomboyish.

So at home I had only sisters and a mother, at school there was mostly girls, my only friend was a girl. As a young boy, I typically would go days with only interacting with girls, aside from the bus driver and my father once a weekend. (The teachers were also all girls except the PE teacher, but this is common everywhere)

I feel as though this has a major effect on my psychology and made me a weak and sensitive person, as I lacked male influences in my life
